[PATCH v2] drm/debugfs: Accept "reset" with a trailing newline in edid_override

[Arun Iyengar via B4 Relay <devnull+aiyengar1990.gmail.com@kernel.org>]

From: Arun Iyengar <aiyengar1990@gmail.com>

Writing "reset" to edid_override only removes the override when exactly
those five bytes are written, so "echo reset > edid_override" fails with
-EINVAL and leaves the override in place.

Compare with sysfs_streq() on a NUL-terminated copy, and reject writes
larger than the largest possible EDID (256 blocks) before copying,
so that the size of the copy is bounded.

Tested on an Orange Pi 5 (RK3588S) with this patch on a 7.3 based
kernel: "echo reset" and "printf reset" both remove an override, an EDID
override round trip still works, and garbage or oversized writes fail
with -EINVAL.

Developed with Claude (Anthropic), which wrote the code and the commit
message. I reviewed and tested it.

Changes in v2:
- Use memdup_user_nul() and sysfs_streq() (Jani Nikula)
- Reject writes larger than 256 EDID blocks before copying
- Shorter commit message
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20261112-drm-debugfs-edid-reset-v1-1-4cd19d83cd22@gmail.com
